International Talk Like a Pirate Day

Posted by thebarefoot on September 17, 2007

It’s coming. International “Talk Like a Pirate Day” is coming. Avast ye maties! September 19th is two days away and you don’t want to be any where near me when it happens. I will be the most obnoxious guy you’ve ever been around.

I will talk like a pirate. Swagger like a pirate. Even my dogs won’t know what to do with me.

I will eat at Arrrrrby’s and make necklaces out of the bones. Maybe I’ll eat baaaarrrrebeque and slop the mess all over my beard. (note to self…grow beard in the next two days.)

If it quacks like a pirate, walks like a pirate, smells like a pirate…it must be a pirate. Have some fun y’all.

Enjoy this in interim.

Medieval Feminism

Posted by thebarefoot on September 17, 2007

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that women held places of power in the ancient world. One example comes from a small, French village where in 1258 a local religious woman rose to the position equivalent to mayor. Few of her abilities were regarded more highly than her piety and wisdom. For this she was given the title “Nun the Wiser.”

She selected a young protégé from the village to whom she could impart her wisdom and skills. Of course, this young girl became known as “Nun the Less.”

And that children is your history lesson for today.
